在金属音乐研究中，“沉重”被认为是该流派的一个基本要素。通常与扭曲的吉他有关，大多数关于沉重的工作都集中在乐器的声音上。如果各自的研究考虑了吉他即兴重复的结构方面，那么特别关注克里思，节奏，音调和形式。本文分析了电吉他的失真与谐波结构之间的相互作用。运用感官和谐的心理声学模型来操作沉重感，一个声学实验探索了吉他失真如何影响和声结构的声学特征。由于声学研究在预测感知方面的局限性，听力测试研究了失真对听者感知的影响。研究结果表明，无论是增加失真水平和谐波复杂性减少感官和谐，特别是当一起行动。在声学上，失真显示出比结构稍强的效果强度;在感知上，该比率取决于个人特定的特征。金属头似乎很少受到感官失调的影响。
In metal music studies, “heaviness” has been acknowledged an essential element of the genre. Commonly associated with the distorted guitar, most work on heaviness has concentrated on the instrument’s sound. If respective research considered structural aspects of the guitar riff, then with a special focus on tempo, rhythm, tonality and form. This article analyses the interaction between distortion and harmonic structures on the electric guitar. Operationalising heaviness with a psychoacoustic model of sensory consonance, an acoustic experiment explores how guitar distortion affects acoustic features of harmonic structures. Since acoustic studies are limited in predicting perception, a listening test investigates distortion’s influence on listener perception. The findings indicate that both increasing distortion level and harmonic complexity reduce sensory consonance, especially when acting together. Acoustically, distortion shows a slightly stronger effect strength than structure; perceptually, the ratio is dependent on person-specific characteristics. Metalheads seem to be only little affected by sensory dissonance.
